Jane Iredale PurePressed Base SPF20 Refill Caramel 9,9g

Description
Mineral powder foundation SPF 20 for medium-dark neutral skin
Caramel is a shade that lives up to its name: warm, rich, and with a natural depth reminiscent of the caramelized glow of sugar-roasted nuts. For medium-dark skin with a neutral undertone, a unique problem often arises — foundations with a pronounced warm or cool bias quickly appear off, while a truly neutral shade is rare in this segment.
Jane Iredale Caramel fills exactly that gap. The mineral powder formula offers light to full coverage, acts as both concealer and physical SPF 20 protection, and provides a semi-matte finish that lets the skin breathe. The micronized minerals lay flat against the skin without settling into fine lines or emphasizing natural skin texture.
Color: Caramel is a medium-dark shade with balanced neutral undertones that are neither too warm nor too cool.
Benefits
- Gives a neutral medium-dark skin a naturally even appearance without color conflict
- Dual function as foundation and concealer prevents product layering
- Reflects UVA and UVB immediately, with no waiting time after application
- Builds smoothly without visible transitions or edges around the jawline
- Vegan and cruelty-free produced, in line with the brand's sustainability philosophy
Active ingredients
Titanium dioxide & zinc oxide: Two mineral UV filters that provide a velvety, non-shiny finish on darker skin types. In Jane Iredale Caramel, the pigments are calibrated to prevent flashback in photos with flash — a common issue with other SPF foundations.
Pomegranate extract: A powerful antioxidant that protects the skin from environmental stress and premature aging caused by free radicals. Helps maintain the natural depth of medium-dark skin by limiting oxidative damage.
Plankton and algae extract: Marine minerals with a calming and barrier-strengthening effect. Especially valuable for skin that quickly reacts to temperature changes or seasonal transitions.
Pine bark extract (Pinus Strobus): Helps even out the skin texture and can visually soften hyperpigmentation — a common concern for medium-dark skin types, which genetically tend to show faster pigment formation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if Caramel matches my neutral undertone well?
Test Jane Iredale Caramel on the transition from cheek to jawline in natural daylight. If the powder disappears there without a pink or yellow tint, your undertone is neutral and Caramel suits you well. If in doubt, you can compare Caramel with Latte or Suntan.
What is the difference between Caramel and Latte?
Caramel is similar in depth to Latte, but Latte has a slightly cooler undertone. Those who hesitate between the two usually choose Caramel when the skin gets warmer in summer and Latte when the skin stays cooler all year round.
Does this powder not give a gray or ashy effect on dark skin?
No. The pigments in this formula are specifically chosen to remain vibrant on darker skin types, without the dreaded gray veil that sometimes appears with certain mineral powders. A finishing hydration spray further enhances this effect.
Is the refill also available without the accompanying compact?
Yes, that is exactly the starting point of the refill system. You make a one-time investment in the Jane Iredale Refillable Compact and then use it for years with a new refill each time — a conscious choice for less packaging material.
